“Always fresh and creative food at Duke’s, love their focus on local products and community!! Highly recommend!!“

“We came here on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025, for the first time in several years. It was a great experience! I was skeptical at first but I cannot recommend the show at the hibachi grills and the atmosphere enough. Although expensive, the filet mignon was so good! I really enjoyed my time at Kyoto and hope to be back at some point again in the future! Only small note is that it’s pretty busy even on Wednesday nights so it was a long dinner. (Written 10-3-25)“

“I was moving from an establishment and was waiting for a ride.. simple question asked if I'd ok to wait for my ride. Whomever the name .....she gave a few tacos while I waited. She dint have to do anything for me but, her kindness should not be taken advantage of. I recommend this place.“

“Great atmosphere and servers.“

“It was my first time ordering. I ordered when I walked in. It took about 15 minutes to cook. The pizza was made fresh. It was also cool to watch the owner making not only my pie but to others.
While the pizzas were in the oven, Cindy and I had an enjoyable conversation about food at other restaurants, which included chocolate cake and real strawberry milk shakes.
When I arrived home to enjoy my pie, I must say that it was one of the best that I have had in a while. It was worth the 30 minute drive.
Thank you Cindy! 😆 I will be back. 😀“

“Great food and drinks always a fun place“

“Great lunch menu, delicious. Great service.“

“Owner is super nice, came by and offered me a free taco from his food truck. Went ahead and gave it a try. Show some love if you ever see him around!“

“The food was great! It was served quickly and was hot. The proportions were the right size.
Our server was very polite, friendly, and was very attentive to all her tables. She really made us feel welcome. She even offered coffees to go. She alone made a big positive difference in our visit.
The atmosphere was pleasant as well. The acoustics and lightning were perfect.
We will visit again. 😀“

“Super cute "authentic" vibes 🇲🇽 DELICIOUS food!!!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and great food“

“Benjamin Parada and I ate dinner at Wings Etc. tonight! We pulled up to the building and called the number listed clearly on the signs, with an employee's assistance our "take out" order was placed! Ben and I talked in the car just as we would have when we were inside the restaurant. However, sitting in the car and wearing a mask felt so much safer than being in the restaurant! Our food was out to our car very quickly. Wonderful delicious and amazing are words to describe the good wings! Date nights look so different with Covid but this was a super safe and fun date night!“

“The Breakers was my mother's favorite place to go out to eat. I took her to The Breakers many times. We always enjoyed any of the many menu items that were available. Elizabeth Landers was her name, and I am sure you are familiar with her son Edward. The service was always top notch.She liked a Brandy Ice for desert!“

“Best Thai in suburbs! I have loved Thai food for much of my life and outside of the city, even after trying multiple Thai restaurants from the North Shore and burbs all around the area, this is hands down the best around! Fresh, not over cooked, spiced to perfection. While I would love to have a go to place closer, we will gladly continue to make the 30 minute drive to Crystal Lake to eat this high quality Thai. Prefer take out as the ambiance isnt spectacular but when we have eaten there, service is top notch.“

“Our server was fantastic. She was so kind, attentive and at the same time kept interactions brief. The Mediterranean omelette was delicious. The coffee was smooth (not too acidic), and our server actually offered to-go cups so that we could drink our coffee in the car after leaving.“

“great service and delicious food !“

“Was my first time eating sushi and was delicious, I am sure I will go there again, The service was excellent,“

“I have been ordering from here for dinner where I work. We all aty work enjoy the pizza & appetizer. I ordered a Chicken Ceasar salad, a small BLT pizza & an Italian Beef with giardiniera with a side of adjustable. Well my coworker told me she only received 1 small Ceasar dressing for the salad (2 or 3 for the salad would have it nicely covered), Italian Beef was a fully disappointment. I would NEVER recommend that at all. The menu for the Italian Beef is NOT true at all. The menu says "NOW WITH MORE MEAT", well I received more giardiniera then meat. When I called she told me that it was 6ozs. of meat that all beefs get. I can tell you as a former line cook that packaged Italian Beef that what I received was NOT 6ozs since I packaged 7ozs of Italian Beef. I DO NOT recommend the Italian Beef at all. I was excited to get the be since all I heard was good things but when I received it and looked at the sandwich it was giardiniera with very little Italian Beef and I received 2 large containers of auju. I was really DISAPPOINTED on the sandwich and the answer that they gave me. If your menu says "NOW WITH MORE MEAT" 6ozs is not enough. It was a GIARDINIERA sandwich with Italian beef... Other pizza I will not order anything else. VERY DISAPPOINTED.... Pictures will be posted...“

“We love to get takeout from here and sometimes will dine in. Their service is always on point! Their food is always consistently delicious! Seriously the best chinese food in town! We have tried the sushi, appetizers, and the traditional chinese dishes and all are delicious! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!“

“Chilis is a favorite spot for my kids when we go out with Grandma and Grandpa! My youngest has some severe allergies and he is now old enough that he wants to be ordering his own kids meal when we eat out. The manager and staff were so kind and accommodating on our last visit and let us know the items that were safe for him. We are happy to have another place where we know we can safely order food together as a family. My little guy was so proud to be able to order his own kids meal. My kids also LOVE their chips and salsa.“

“All the food is excellent, not one complaint.
The restaurant is very nice and very clean. The entire staff is excellent. Our server was top notch.. Thank you Winston you were great and your sneaky co-worker keeping an eye on us to keep everything timed just right...🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again and keep up the excellent service you guys provide... We will definitely be back!“

“great food, good service, can't wait to go back. 👍👍“

“Great pizza! Great service!“

“we've been going to Chen's for over 30 years at least once a month. people are awesome, the food is outstanding and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. disregard negative reviews. anyone that goes there on a regular basis would highly recommend. a nice family restaurant not a chain.“

“Best steak tacos I’ve ever had! The steak is so flavorful and tender. This is my go to place when I’m in the area. Staff is very nice. So happy they now have a bar.“

“I'm writing in regards to store # 2786. I met with your employee Jon K at 9:10pm on 7/9/2024 and he was an excellent employee. He explained things I was unsure of with ease and politeness and I appreciated his customer service above and beyond; especially after the day I had. It was extremely refreshing and he was a great employee.“

“Had a taste for breakfast in the afternoon. Nice waitress offered table or booth in very clean dining area. I ordered a mushroom & cheese omelet, hash browns & bacon. All were delicious & served promptly and hot.
Love the personal coffee pot for instant refills. Great service, reasonable price for non-fast food meal.“
